It turns out a friend I know saw my HT post and can lend me a GSM phone. I'm looking into renting SIM cards. A Google search comes up with several places: Telestial http://www.telestial.com/sim_bridge.php?ID=GB CellHire http://www.cellhire.com/products/international/sim-card/uk Cellular Abroad http://www.cellularabroad.com/ and RebelFone http://www.rebelfone.com/uk-sim-cards.aspx If anyone has feedback on these, love to hear it.
